I'm suspecting it's the latter after your Scotland 3-0 win in 1985 patter. Anyway, Stewart McKimmie won his first two caps in 1989. Although, conversely, I take your point that he had been, in my view, unfairly overlooked up until then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apply the Alan Hansen test when considering whether players playing for big clubs should automatically be Scotland first XI picks. And I've never forgiven Nicol for that miss against Uruguay in the 1986 WC. Edited March 26, 2023 by Bogbrush1903 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank McDougall and Billy Stark were not as good in European ties as the Scottish League IMHO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe more blame should be attached to the Scotland manager at the time (Ferguson) who put club loyalties and issues over certain “personalities”rather than pick the best players for the tournament and that particular game. Imagine not starting Souness against Uruguay. Even if he was only half fit he needed to play part of that game. McAvennie should have been on from the very start instead of Sturrock. To leave behind Hansen and Mo Johnston was madness. Losing Hansen meant we lost the quality and experience of his mate Dalglish. The lowlights and the Nicol miss which was probably Scotland’s only real chance can be viewed here: https://www.fifa.com/fifaplus/en/watch/3Cdnfa1FElHihRGdUK492s http://www.scottishfootballblog.co.uk/2010/06/scotland-in-1986-another-hard-luck-tale.html?m=1 Ach. Bugger. That was a sore one to go out on. We made a habit of that in ‘74,’78,’82,’86 and ‘90. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is excluding the Angus Gunn’s and Elliot Anderson’s of the world that clearly don’t want to play for Scotland. Would expect the majority of these players go on to pick up a few caps with the exception of Magennis, Halkett & Devlin. Clark Devlin Halkett Welsh Doig J. Campbell Hackney Magennis Doak Conway S. Wright What a freightening bad team outwith Doig and Doak if that is the best we got spare then we are trully donald ducked 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
